I have to agree with Scott, John and Ekr about this. It's not that change isn't
needed, but rather that this set of changes hasn't received sufficient review
and comment. I also agree with John's assessment that insufficient review given
to process change has in the past opened the door to unintended consequences of
various sorts.

I'm by no means a fan of the current names (draft standard is IMO particularly
problematic) but I agree with Ekr that this change is liable to cause more
problems than it solves.
